Empower Customers Across The World To Purchase From Your Store
And Reap the Benefits

Privately owned brick and mortar stores face one central issue: they can only sell to locals, and customers that are loyal enough to travel there. The primary appeal of an ecommerce store is that the products are available to everyone across the nation– sometimes the world.

It’s impossible for ecommerce store owners to achieve this without a CDN.

What’s a CDN?

A CDN, or a content delivery network, helps ensure that visitors across the world can access your ecommerce store.

And, the concept is fairly simple. People use CDNs every day.

As with all other domains, the website is hosted via a central scalable hosting service. When people navigate to your website through either a Google search or by entering the domain, the hosting server sends the information from the website back to the device. When people living in NY access a website hosted in NY, the load times are lightning fast. But, when people in NY visit a website hosted in Texas, load times could become unacceptably long.

The Amazon CDN aims to solve this problem.

Acting as a series of proxy servers, the Amazon content delivery network is in place to provide easy access to all visitors. Utilizing multiple server locations across the country, the CDN expedites load times by a wide margin.

More Exposure, Higher Sales

By distributing their website’s hosting duties throughout several different proxy servers, you can provide lightning fast load times. Through the regional edge cache CloudFront With easier access to the website, browsing customers are far more likely to convert.

What is Website Latency?

Website latency is the period of time between navigating to a website and the website fully loading on the user’s device. The goal of a CDN is to minimize this latency.

Multimedia Data Sharing

In the early days of the internet, CDNs were used primarily for text-heavy sites. WIth modern technology, though, CDNs can deliver complex data, videos, applications and even APIs.

Instantaneous Load Times

With cached versions of the website distributed throughout the country, you can guarantee nearly instantaneous load times for all customers.

Utilizing Reverse Proxy Technology

The CDN is located in front of the backend servers, a position that grants websites a few key advantages:

Decrease Load Times

Give customers the shopping experience that they want. Connecting your website to a CDN will help you reach a larger network of potential customers.

Prevent Website Crashes

With an overabundance of website visitors accessing the central hosted server, your website could be over inundated with traffic. When the server cannot handle the traffic, its only recourse is to crash. A CDN prevents website crashes by diverting traffic to peripheral sources, resulting in an easier flow of communication.

Higher Search Rankings

If a customer is alerted by Google that the website does not have an SSL certificate, the chances that he or she will stay on the website are low. In most cases, the searcher will return to the search engine results page and select a different option. Installing an SSL certificate into your ecommerce store will lower the bounce rate– or the percentage of people who leave for a different website.

Global CDN Presence

Amazon is no stranger to having a worldwide presence. Utilizing their robust infrastructure, the Amazon CDN ensures that all website visitors have a pleasant browsing and shopping experience.
